Water Activities in Riyadh

Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia, may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of water activities. However, there are some options available for those looking to cool off during the hot desert summer.

Wadi Hanifah

• Location: 20km east of Riyadh city center
• Description: A dry riverbed turned into a recreational area with a lake and opportunities for kayaking or paddle-boating.
• Tip: Try visiting in the early morning or late evening to avoid the scorching sun.

No water

Unfortunately, there are no natural sources of water within the city limits that can be used for swimming or other water activities.
